Abstract: Abstract Species diversity is a part of (forest) stand structure but tree diameter diversity and height diversity alone or combined are typically defined as stand structural diversity or complexity or attribute(s). There is increasing evidence… read more here.

Abstract: The impacts of climate change on ecosystem structure and functioning are likely to be strongest at high latitudes due to the adaptation of biota to relatively low temperatures and nutrient levels. Soil warming is widely… read more here.
